I'm using a Trial API to develop a simple text generation tool. And to generate 500-700 tokens - it took 15 seconds.
I later switched to a Billing Account because I wanted to take the project live - and by just doing that, it is now taking 60-75 seconds per generation.
I haven't changed a single word in the codebase. And the project is still running locally. So by simply swapping the API keys, the response time is incredibly worse now.
What do I do? Who do I contact? I've tried to get in contact with OpenAI using their chatbot on help.openai.com - and it just ends the conversation with a "we'll get in contact soon". Is this a common issue?
